These are normal.

This one merely means that certain classes are not directly assigned in the the theme css. Fortunately, Nemo (and Nemo is unusual in this), will use its own Nautilus code to grab the properties outlined in the css file anyway.

@Michel

Desktop already managed by another application, skipping desktop setup.
To change this, modify org.nemo.desktop 'ignored-desktop-handlers'.

You can manually change desktop handlers using dconf-editor:

sudo apt install dconf-editor

Then navigate the path it shows - /org/nemo/desktop/ignored-desktop-handlers and set the settings as you wish.

The reason for the 'error' is that Gnome-Shell is installed and running.
It's handling things, though, and is not a big deal. Again, this just falls to user preference, especially if you use Desktop Icons (I don't. I like my desktop completely clean and uncluttered, myself).

[Michel]

Ah oke, so i don't need to install dconf-editor to change that ?

Thanks again.

@Michel

Dconf-editor is a worthwhile tool to have on hand when you need it. But no, you do not need to.

[Michel]

Oke and the last step was gnome-tweak-tool, i remember i used that tool in my first zorin installation and for some reason i removed it with a sudo command. The problem with that command, it deleted alot. My zorin installation was completely trash. Now i am not sure if it was duo that command or a failed nvidia installation back then....but pffff i don't want to touch that again haha

[Aravisian]

You only need gnome-tweaks for Gnome Desktop. If you are using Cinnamon, gnome-tweaks would not even launch on it, I think.
Removing gnome-tweaks should not damage the desktop in anyway though.
A failed Nvidia installation is the far more likely culprit.

@Aravisian

xdg-mime default gnome.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search

@Aravisian: Not this by the way ? ubuntu write this

Go back to using Nautilus instead of Nemo:

xdg-mime default nautilus.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true
sudo apt purge nemo nemo*
sudo apt autoremove

And remove the nemo-desktop command from your startup applications

What is the command to delete nemo-dekstop, they dont write that haha

[Aravisian]

@Michel

nautilus.desktop

Yes, THAT.
Sorry.

[Michel]

@Michel

And remove the nemo-desktop command from your startup applications

And remove the nemo-desktop command from your startup applications

how to do that ?

[Aravisian]

The easy was is to open your file manager, go to ~/.config (hit ctrl+h to reveal it if you do not see it) and then autostart folder and delete the entry.
In Cinnamon Desktop, you can open the App menu and go to Startup Applications and remove it from the list there.

[Michel]

Thanks for your time and the walkthrough...keep learning everyday

I think it's not installed haha

[Aravisian]

It's not installed in ~directory, then. In which case, please use the Startup Applications dialog.

[Michel]

@Aravisian

Startup Applications

Found it! it's not listed

[Aravisian]

Probably a category thing in the menu- but yes, typing the app name into the menu will pull it up.

[Michel]

So i added the nemo-desktop command and now when i reboot i get the icons from Cinnamon in my Gnome desktop. The part ubuntu site was talking about haha

" Inside this program, click the slider to turn off "Desktop Icons", as shown below. This turns OFF the nautilus desktop icons so that we can just have the nemo desktop icons instead. If you don't do this, you'll get a weird desktop with unusable nautilus desktop icons covered up by usable nemo desktop icons, as shown a couple images down."

i will stay on the nautilus desktop for now with nemo filemanager.

[Michel]

@Aravisian, i need your help.
I managed to install lightdm, it came with a ubuntu screen as login

Are you clicking the Desktop Chooser button on the Upper Right side of the toolbar?

[Michel]

@Aravisian

Are you clicking the Desktop Chooser button on the Upper Right side of the toolbar?

I see a black screen with login

[Aravisian]

In your second image, you see that Top Bar?
There are icons on the far right. Depending on your Setup... the Far Leftmost icon on the right side should be the chooser for Which Desktop to log into. Click it, go down the drop down menu to the one you want, click it. Then log in as normal.

[Michel]

Oke, also why does lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings have a black background. Can a wallpaper or something be added ?

Also in lightdm i have to press numlock everytime when i need to login. I don't have that with GDM3

[Aravisian]

@Michel

You can do pretty much whatever you want. The Lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings GUI app has a lot of options, but is really only the tip of the iceberg of what you can do.
Launch lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings

On the Appearance tab, select Image, then use the navigation next to it to navigate to the one you want to use. IF that does not work for some reason, move the image to /usr/pixmaps/ and then direct to it in lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings

If even that doesn't work... open dconf-editor and navigate to org/gnome/desktop/background to set the image (Due to installing lightdm on Gnome).

@Michel

Also in lightdm i have to press numlock everytime when i need to login. I don't have that with GDM3

sudo apt update && sudo apt install numlockx

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Add the following line: greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on
Hit ctrl+x to exit, then the y key to say yes to save, then the enter key to do it.
